Talk:Image analysis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Merging Image Analysis and Computer Image Analysis makes perfect sense to me. But Digital Image Analysis may be a better title.
better use Image Analysis (commonly used in literature) and merge with existing "image analysis" article
[edit] Merge them and consider enriched merge guidelines.
Given that both pages are small, merger looks wise to me. The proposal to merge the more specific - "Computer Image Analysis" - into the more general "Image Analysis" also seems right. I found no guidance in the 'Style Manual' or the 'Merge' page. If I wasn't looking in the right place, please tell me user:randy.f. "Computer" vs. "Digital" is a narrower issue. I slightly prefer "Digital" here because some of the less sophisticated IA tasks can be done with something less than a computer. "Learning" on the hand still requires something more than a computer.
These pages are both general and small. There are much more detailed specific pages on suptopics. The single merged IA page should provide an overview to these more specific pages. At the moment, someone who wants an overview would not get it here. They could try looking at the subtopic pages, but would probably be lost in the mountain of detail. Wikipedia should try to be an altas to the world of knowledge. A page is a chart. Charts can vary in detail and scope. And they can overlap.
